Self Sustaining Ecosphere

If you have aquarium at home you probably know how annoying it is to change the water and clean the tank every few weeks.

This self sustaining ecosphere is a self-contained, self-supporting ecological system sealed within a hand-blown borosilicate glass sphere and the best thing is that it doesn’t require any maintenance.

Tiny shrimps inside feed on bacteria that metabolize organic waste into nutrients for the algae which, in turn, photosynthesize the oxygen needed for the shrimps and bacteria to survive.
